City Facilities Workshop Meeting April 17, 1991 Page 2 e police station and Ci ty Hall. Both of these could also be constructed on just the Morrell site. Zack indicated that he leaned heavily toward the Gospodor site because it accommodates the Police Department, City Hall and community center. The current proposal shows a three phase development. The first phase would consist of mainly basic City Hall and Police Department space needs plus a 250 seat meeting banquet facility's total square footage, 27,531 with an estimated cost of $1.9 million. The second phase includes additional communi ty center components plus completion of the police station needs. Phase II consists of 51,157 square feet at a cost of $3.5 million. Phase J II includes the remainder of the community center components, addi tional City Hall and Police Station space for a total of 49,188 square feet and a cost of $5.1 million. Four percent inflation is included when figuring the cost for Phase II and Phase III. Zack made the Council aware that this phasing plan is just a proposal to determine if the project works and fits on this site. The Council will need to change the phasing to meet their desires. There was discussion regarding savings of having a combined City Hall/Police Station versus having stand alone facilities. It was noted that there was no large savings in the first phase; however, larger savings are realized when all phases are completed. e There were some unknowns regarding the Gospodor site which need to be addressed including the cost of extending water and sewer and the acquisition of the property. The Council directed staff to communicate with Mr. Gospodor making him aware of the Council's proposal. Zack Johnson further indicated that the Community Center Task Force supports the selection of the Gospodor site for a possible community center. The Council recessed at 8:35 and reconvened at 8:55. Pat Klaers summarized the Council's conclusions and that a letter indicating the findings of fact be sent to the owners of the Anderson properties and the County Administration building. Secondly, that a letter be sent to Mr. Gospodor indicating the City's interest and proposal for a City Hall/Police Station complex on his property. The Council concurred with both of these items. The Council also directed staff to get more information on the Morrell and Houlton sites in regard to acquisition costs. The Council concurred that it preferred a campus setting and that the three sites being considered would be the Gospodor property, the Houlton/Morrell property, and as a third option the creamery site for a police station only with City Hall remaining at its current location. The next Community Facilities meeting was scheduled for May 16 at 7:00 p.m. There was discussion regarding the Design Committee and Zack indicated that a list of sites is available for the Design Committee to tour. Pat Klaers indicated that the Design Committee would make recommendations on what e should be included in each facility and phase.
